[Q] Forgotten pattern and google username/pass

A friend of me has a galxy w and his cousin tried many times the pattern and now the phone is asking about google username and password which he doesn't remember it because he is using the account only for market. What can he do to bypass the pattern. He can not use the phone at all. He can only receive calls nothing else.

Stock ROM ?

Yeap unfortunately stock...
Is there any way to factory reset from bootloader?

Turn on the phone while pressing volume up + home button + power button and hold these down till an icon appears. Then recovery will open and from there you can factory reset.

Ok i enter the recovery but it stays on the green android with box and then nothing the options for factory reset wont appear! Please help me!

Just hold these while turning on the phone, release the keys when the android with the box appear and a menu should appear. Volume up and down for moving in the menus and home button for selecting options. I don't know why the menu doesn't show up... Did you release those keys, or did you flash another recovery?

I dont know why but it just stays in android with the box, with no menu or options. I flashed another firmware but no recovery.

Than the recovery menu should open. I know a little tricky ^^.
There you should be able to wipe everything.
good luck

If you don't mind me saying so, that's a load of crap!!!
Either the phone has a Recovery or not, either Stock or Custom, if not, somehow the Recovery partition has been wiped....
Try again, you should be able to get into Recovery, where you can do Factory Reset....if you want!!
After all, this is your friends phone right????
And he or his cousin or you don't know pattern, or google password/username??
Yeah right....get up the yard!!!

I am trying to tell that the recovery doesnt work. It doesn't show the options to factory reset the phone. It only shows the green android with the box. When i press the menu button it says that it is updating a file and then it is rebooting automatically. I can not see any options or something. As i said, he only use the google account to download apps from market and he has forgotten the password of the google account.

Last hope try flash phone with odin...

But it is the same!

When you say it "updates" when you go into recovery do you 1) let go of power button when samsung logo first appears or 2) hold onto power button until the phone shows samsung logo, then goes blank and then let go of power when samsung logo appears second time? If 1 then hold onto power longer until you see the logo twice. If 2 then i dont know. But still...im sure that you should be able to skip the google setup...cant you?

Hold power button until you see the "galaxy s" sign (galaxy w or whatever phone...its the same...i just thought the s was a good example) and soon after you see that it should reboot. Keep hold of power. Then when the samsung logo appears let go but do not let go of home and volume up. Then when you see a android sign let go of the buttons and press menu. It should be recovery.

Anyone have a Jig in Montreal

Anyone have jig for the t989, located in Montreal. One which I could buy or borrow?
I can't get my phone into Download Mode. I've tried everything I can think of, nothing helps (took out battery, waited 10 seconds, plugged in battery, held volume up+down and plugged into usb in PC - will just go to charging battery icon, nothing else). There's something odd with the stock firmware. It will not lock the screen, even if I set a screen pattern lock. I've tried a reset from recovery and when it boots into the phone after the reset, it won't even go through the Google first time setup, just goes straight to main screen.
Want to get it into download mode to flash recovery and flash a custom rom.

Download quickboot from the playstore and try to reboot to download mode. This will only work if you're rooted.

I wish I had root. Unfortunately I'm stock since I had to send the phone in for repair. It's repaired and working great but can't get into download mode. Only other thing I see in the recovery is 'manual mode' don't know if that's of any significance.

Download mode is independent of recovery. You plug in USB, then press vol up + down combo to go into download mode

Strage Bootloop

Guys, I have been on Task's AOKP ROM ever since I got my GS3 last year. Recently, I have been having weird issues with the ROM where if I push the power button to say lock the phone, the screen will cut off then come right back on. After that, it will proceede to freeze and cut off and go into a boot loop. It would also happen if I push the lock button and the screen cut off. The phone would just cut off and restart. Most of the times, the phone would just restart with no issues. However, right now it won't get past the initial boot screen. I can't get into download mode or recovery as it just cuts it off as soon as I prompt it.
I have no idea how to fix this. I am not a noob as I have been doing this for a while and have done my research. I have not found any issues where the power button is somehow causing the phone to freeze then go to a boot loop.
If someone could advise on what to do at this point, I would be grateful. As I said, I can't get to recovery, download mode or Odin as of now.
Thanks in advance!

Take your battery out.
Put it back in.
With the power off hold
Volume up
Power
And home
This should boot into recovery.
Try wiping cache and dalvik cache and rebooting. After a dalvik wrote it needs rebuilt upon boot. So... give it a good 15 minutes to boot before you go on to the next.
Button combo back into recovery. And just "dirty" flash your Rom meaning don't wipe anything.
Still nothing... recovery, factory reset flash Rom again.

I heard someone else with this problem... It was his power button, was sticking on and just kept resetting the phone. He sent it back on warrentee and got a new phone. Get off the original development and come to touch wiz. Much more reliable and everything works without work around. Strats is the best in my opinion.

Im afraid this may be my problem as well. I thought it was a ROM issue, however, I was able to get the phone on finally and I wiped everything and flashed a ROM on there with nothing else on it. I hit the power button to see if the issue persisted and it did. So it is doing this even after I wiped cache, d.c., factory reset and format system. Would it not have to be the power button at this point?
I took the back off the phone to see if I could see the issue, but I can't tell anything. It doesn't appear to be stuck, but apparetly it is once i press it. I have ATT and have insurance, will they send me a replacement? If not, I guess I am out of luck.

You'll have to triangle away and bring it back to stock using Odin if you wanna send it for replacement.

Unroot your device
Need to get your S3 ready to return to the manufacturer? Follow this link and you'll be squared away in under 10 minutes. You'll need:
- Triangle Away installed
- The official stock firmware for your device
- Odin installed on your PC
- Your Samsung USB cable, if possible
- Samsung drivers installed on PC

Thanks guys. ATT is shipping me a replacement phone. I have managed to get this phone on and keep it on by not using the power button.
I will have to go back to stock but am having issues getting Odin to show my phone for some reason. Tried several computer, cords, reinstalled drivers etc to no avail. I can do all this through mobile Odin, correct?
Glad I will get a replacement device, but not happy about having to root and reinstall everything.

[RESOLVED] Rebooting Error

So I flashed the newest version of Graraks 5.0 CM12, the phone booted everything was normal and I rebooted the phone with the USB plugged in the laptop and the phone (with the intention to clean flash, since I have some minor bugs that others don't), and now the phone has frozen with the battery picture on (when the phones turned off) and won't respond to anything. My normal reaction would be to take off the battery, but since this is a unibody, that's not an option. At the moment I'm waiting for the battery to drain (I had 5% or so) and I'll try turning it back on, in the meantime, if someone has an advice, I'd be more than glad to take it.

Did you try to boot holding the volume up button and power button for 10 seconds!!! My would freeze all the time when always flashing cm11 n the cm12..also would get a black screen at times too..first I tryed using adb on my pc n it just finally booted,thankgod but now usually I just do the volume up n power for 10 sec..since relizing that works for me..everytime I have a frozen phone..because having unibody you cant just take out the battery!!!

Maybe you can delete all the user data and cache using W and it could work? I'm not sure though, I'm not a developer so this is just an idea.

Or maybe your computer hasn't recognised the phone yet, thus rendering your computer unable to perform any action on your phone. I can't think of anything else, good luck.

The good way to connect with qfil is to switch off, push vol+ and vol- and connect the cable at the same time. Then you should be able to flash stock rom manually

You could try short circuit the motherboard pins if someone know which pins those are...
Can you not go to recovery by holding vol+ and power?

NO i think i erased the bootloader while installing the mod firmware

Well then you'll have to short circuit the points on the mobo. Or strip a charging cable and short green cable(+data) with black cable( ground) for 20 seconds and that will bring your phone to QCOM 9008 mode. I never did this so I don't know where these points are or if the cable thing actually works. Maybe it would be best for you to pay for a repair, tell them you want to force boot emergency download mode, otherwise they'll probably just replace the motherboard and make you pay more, because it's an easier job. If your phone still bootloops then your motherboard is fine, just corrupted.

I also faced similar issue. However now rescue lenovo assistant app seems working. It flashed recovery but its stuck on next step for checking country coded
